The USAC National Sprint Cars were first on the docket all evening and after preliminaries were completed, the 30 lap A Main was pushed off with Justin Grant and Kevin Thomas Jr. on the front row. Thomas led at the start but a lap two red for a flip by Dave Darland in turn four halted action.
As the green flew again 7th starting Tyler Courtney was on the move picking off cars quickly and on lap six he slid up the track overtaking Thomas for the top spot. Courtney quickly left the field far behind as jockeying for 2nd through 5th made for some great racing in the middle stages of the feature between Kevin Thomas Jr., CJ Leary, Brady Bacon and Chris Windom.
Meanwhile, Courtney continued to put distance between himself and everybody. He was not to be caught on this night, taking the checkers.
Next up was the 30 lap World of Outlaws finale with Donny Schatz on the pole with Caeson Macedo along side. Schatz and Macedo battled the first two laps with Schatz pulling away. Macedo, David Gravel and Logan Schuchart were all trying to put pressure on Schatz but was widening his lead.
At the half way mark, all eyes were on the Shark Racing 1s of Schuchart as he was on the prowl and had Schatz in his sights and was slowly chipping away at the leader. As laps were winding down, Schuchart closed while running the high line with Schatz low. The duo entered heavy traffic with Schuchart losing just enough momentum to allow the multi time champion to get away and cross the stripe first.
